Visible Light-Induced Ruthenium(II)-Catalyzed Hydroarylation of Unactivated Olefins Hydroarylation reactions have emerged as a valuable tool for the direct functionalization of C–H bonds with ideal atom economy. However, common catalytic variants for these transformations largely require harsh reaction conditions, which often translate into reduced selectivites.

Plastics are omnipresent in our everyday life, and accumulation of post-consumer plastic waste in our environment represents a major societal challenge. Hence, methods for plastic waste recycling are in high demand for a future circular economy. Specifically, the degradation of post-consumer polymers towards value-added small molecules constitutes a sustainable strategy for a carbon circular economy.

Introduction Due to their low cost, water resistance, durability, and ease of production, plastics play a key role in a large array of our modern society.1 However, less than 10 % of the world-wide produced plastics are currently recycled, while less than 1 % is recycled more than once.1b, 2 As a direct consequence of this low recycling rate, there is an accumulation of plastic waste in landfills and aquatic environments threatening wildlife, and environment.

Photoinduced C–H arylation of 1,3-azoles via copper/photoredox dual catalysis† The visible light-induced C–H arylation of azoles has been accomplished by dual-catalytic system with the aid of an inexpensive ligand-free copper(I)-catalyst in combination with a suitable photoredox catalyst.
